Truck Camper Restoration Stories Wanted
We want to see your truck camper restoration projects! Send us your best photos, stories, and memories from bringing your camper back to life.
Torklift’s new demo rig showcases how the FastGun Apex is now an inboard or outboard capable turnbuckle. Their demo rig is also the most tied-down setup we’ve ever seen. Jack Kay, President, and Kyler Morrison, National Sales Manager, give us the backstory and reveal what’s new for 2027.
Nearly fourteen years after we first met Michele DeVries and Mark Sprague, they’re still exploring in the same truck and camper, still embracing life on the road, and still discovering new reasons to love it. Is the dream as good as they imagined? You bet.
Sunset Park RV’s Josh Treat road-tested a forgotten prototype over 11,000 miles, resulting in the non-slide, wet bath Sun Trek 795. What followed were updates to the entire Sun Trek lineup, including optional 48-volt power. Meet the Sun Trek 795!
Arctic Fox 865 or Wolf Creek 890? Both @northwoodmfg campers pack a north-south queen bed, booth dinette, wet bath, 400 watts of solar, and an 8-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator.
The Arctic Fox 865 brings 2-inch walls, a cathedral ceiling, and 36 gallons of fresh water. The lighter, less expensive Wolf Creek 890 has 1-inch walls, 31 gallons of fresh water, and a slightly smaller bathroom.
Which camper would you put on your truck?
Today’s featured camper is the Eagle Cap 1165 by @adventurercampers, a hard-side, triple-slide, side-entry camper with a dry bath, north-south queen bed, and an 11-foot, 11-inch floor length.
At 4,917 pounds dry, the 1165 is already a substantial camper, and its tank capacities follow suit with 60 gallons of fresh water, 41 gallons of grey, and 41 gallons of black. Fully wet and loaded, the camper pushes past 6,000 pounds.
Adventurer recommends chassis cabs such as the Ford F-550, Ram 5500, or Chevrolet Silverado 5500 HD.
Would you build a Class 5 truck around a camper like the 1165?
